It was like a day from the 1970s. Except the close encounter between a Russian SU-27 fighter-interceptor and a US Air Force RC-135V intelligence-gathering plane and a Swedish Gulfstream IV spy plane occurred on June 10. The incident, which occurred within Polish maritime airspace near the airspace of the Russian Kaliningrad region, resulted in diplomatic protests being lodged with the Russian Foreign and Defense ministries by the US embassy in Moscow.

The air encounter took place on the second day of the Baltops-2019 NATO naval and air exercise in the Baltic Sea, in which the United States, Sweden (a non-NATO member), and sixteen other nations, including non-NATO member Finland, were taking part. Not taking part in the exercise were NATO members Greece, Hungary, Luxembourg, Canada, Czechia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Iceland, Croatia, and Montenegro. The exercise was scheduled for June 9-21.

The Baltops exercise was being held under the command of the newly-reconstituted US Second Fleet, which is headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia. The annual exercise concludes with the participating ships and submarines sailing to Kiel in Germany to participate

Excelentíssimo Senhor Primeiro-Ministro,

Nós, organizações canadenses signatárias desta carta, vimos por meio desta comunicar nossa profunda preocupação com a atual crise política no Brasil que, há algumas semanas, levou a um golpe de estado visando à destituição da presidenta democraticamente eleita, Dilma Rousseff. Exprimimos nossa solidariedade à população brasileira, que neste momento enfrenta este golpe associado claramente ao desmonte de diversas políticas sociais bem como à continuação e aumento de graves violações dos direitos humanos e ambientais no país.

O golpe em curso no Brasil tornou-se ainda mais claro após a divulgação de gravações telefônicas envolvendo um então ministro do governo Temer, o senhor Romero Jucá, e

15 SIGNS OBAMA WILL GO TO WAR WITH SYRIA

The Obama administration is actually considering an attack on Syria even though the American people are overwhelmingly against it, Obama does not have Congressional approval to start a war, and he will never get approval for military action from the UN because it will be blocked by Russia.
